In yet another incident of a hacker compromising details of a cyber security analyst, hackers have furnished details of Adi Peretz, an employee of Mandiant, the Virginia based consultancy arm of cyber security firm FireEye.

Peretz is a Senior Threat Intelligence Analyst at Mandiant which deals with digital forensics. His emails, LinkedIN profile along with internal documents from FireEye and Mandiant have been dumped by the hackers. The Hackers have christened their work as "Operation #LeakTheAnalyst".

The hackers in their post claimed that it was fun to be inside a giant company named “Mandiant” and how they enjoyed watching the security firm trying to protect their clients and how their dumb analysts are trying to reverse engineer Malware and stuffs. "Now that “Mandiant” knows how deep we breached into its infrastructure its so-called threat analysts are trying to block us. Let's see how successful they are going to be :D"

FireEye informed ETtech that they are looking into the incident.

The dump made available by the hackers contain mission critical information related to 3rd party contractors, FireEye internal documents, Mandiant Internal networks and its clients data, Mandiant-FireEye Docs, Mandiant-FireEye WebEx, Mandiant -FireEye JIRA, Staffs Emails, Amazon Account, Linkedin Account. " We even have Full access over victim's live account (including full control over his private windows machine, online GPS tracking of the victim for a year (2016-2017), OneDrive, official calendar events, contacts, billing address (both Ireland and Israel)) and Paypal invoices."

The hackers also mentioned that "Nobody understands the amount of dedication it takes to break into a highly secured network, to bypass every state of the art security measure installed to make a targeted network unbreakable, to code and hack not for the money but for the pleasure of being somewhere no one can be in, to be addicted to pain."

They claim that they tried to avaoid these fancy ass "Analysts" who try to trace attack footprints and prove they are better than us. "In the #LeakTheAnalyst operation we say fuck the consequence let’s track them on Facebook, Linked-in, Tweeter, etc. let’s go after everything they’ve got, let’s go after their countries, let’s trash their reputation in the field. If during your stealth operation you pwned an analyst, target him and leak his personal and professional data, as a side job of course ;)."
